1971 hull, but close to 70

Hi Guys

has anyone had an issue with the nylon sprocket that lifts up to engauge with the fly wheel when starting. Mine broke last week and i put on a new one. On the 3rd re-start the new one has jumped up and jammed on the fly wheel. I took it apart and re set it and again it randomly jumps up when pull the start cord. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Jeff

Excellent...! Beer a-fish-ianados!...... must be about dinner time there now. What else do you get around there besides rainbows (if that is what they are)? .....And what's the favorite local brew; if it's an American or Canadian, ok, but I mean a good label from your area of the planet....so I might check it out myself... ?

yes rainbows and browns(they do get sea run browns in the south island) and i would image NZ's most famous (if you can call it that) would be http://www.steinlager.com/Splash

Not my fav, but certainly is drank by many a kiwi!. I remember coming across a great beer down Rochester - i think it had "adams' in the name, reddish tinge to it- loved it, but i can say that about most beer

Say..... Looks as if, at least, U guys have lakes with actual water in them, rather than sand and salt like your folk's place next door! I mean Australia....I also like the way you folks have used "native" names for places around there, rather than boring English names From the video your area there reminds me somewhat of the Adirondacks region here in New York State.....Swwweeeeett !!

Yes very much like that Adirondacks area, but not as many lakes or mountains and the beer is heaps cheaper over there

Always great reading your helpful tips and tricks for down rigging and jigging, thanks again. Here is a small clip of open trout season here in a wonderful lake in the north island of New Zealand.

==================

G-day, always enjoy reading the posts, I mostly do downrigging here in NZ, it actually use to be illegal here (very odd fishing guidelines here) Want to learn more about jigging with these butterfly rigs. We have some beautiful clean lakes here and if any members make it down this was be sure to PM me and maybe we could get out for a fish
